Manipal MET2011PhysicsThermal Properties of Matter
The heat flows through a rod of length 50 cm and area of cross-section 5 ~cm ^2 . Its ends are respectively at 25^ C and 125^ C . The coefficient of thermal conductivity of the material rod is 0.092 kcal / m ^ C . The temperature gradient of the rod is
Options
- A2^ C / cm
- B2^ C / m
- C20^ C / cm
- D20^ C / m
Correct answer
A. 2^ C / cm
Step-by-step solution
Temperature gradient of the rod x = ₂- ₁ l x = 125-25 50 = 100 50 =2^ C / cm
